Anchor
Navigating Life's Storms: Unveiling the Depths of 'Anchor' by Copperhead Jones
Lyrics
Why do we stay lost at sea
Questioning the reason for remaining adrift in life.
Never seeing a clear horizon ahead
Expressing a lack of clarity about the future.
My thoughts turn to sadness
Feeling a shift towards sadness in contemplation.
How do I stop this madness
Seeking a solution to end the emotional turmoil.
As the waves build and swell around my head
Metaphorically describing the overwhelming challenges.
Why does the boredom set in
Reflecting on the monotony that sets in.
Never know when my watch will end
Uncertainty about when a difficult period will end.
My thoughts turn to sadness
Reiteration of the shift towards sadness in thoughts.
How do I stop this madness
Continuing the search for a way to end the turmoil.
As the waves break and crash within my head
Describing the tumultuous nature of inner struggles.
Another lost sailor carrying an anchor
Metaphorically portraying oneself as a lost sailor with emotional baggage.
Chained to every thought
Being burdened by every thought, possibly negative or regretful.
Another lost sailor carrying an anchor
Repeating the image of a lost sailor carrying emotional weight.
It's not difficult
Stating that the situation isn't inherently complex.
But it shouldn't be this hard
Expressing frustration that the situation is more challenging than expected.
How did I get found at sea
Reflecting on being discovered in a state of emotional distress.
With a new course ahead
Acknowledging a new direction in life.
My thoughts still turn to sadness
Despite positive changes, emotions still tend towards sadness.
But there is no more madness
Claiming an end to the madness, suggesting inner peace.
As the waves slowly calm within my head
Describing a gradual calming of inner turmoil.
I've learned to sail to another voice
Learning to listen to a different perspective or guidance.
I've learned to sail for another choice
Choosing a different path in life.
The winds will come
Believing that challenges will come, like winds in sailing.
The tides will show
Recognizing that life's natural cycles will guide the way.
The way to be happy
Advocating for happiness by positively influencing others.
Is to make others so
Stating a philosophy that contributing to others' happiness leads to one's own.
Another lost sailor carrying an anchor
Reiteration of the lost sailor metaphor and emotional burden.
Chained to every thought
Continuing to feel weighed down by persistent thoughts.
Another lost sailor carrying an anchor
Repeating the image of a lost sailor with emotional baggage.
It's not difficult
Emphasizing the perceived simplicity of the situation.
But it shouldn't be this hard
Expressing frustration at the unexpected difficulty.
Just another lost sailor
Identifying oneself again as a lost sailor with emotional baggage.
Carrying an anchor
Repeating the theme of carrying emotional weight.
From memories I'll never forget
Referring to unforgettable memories linked to the emotional burden.
Another lost sailor
Echoing the image of a lost sailor carrying emotional weight.
Carrying an anchor
Continuing to carry emotional baggage while making no progress.
Always treading water
Metaphorically staying afloat in life but not experiencing growth or change.
But never getting wet
Expressing a sense of stagnation despite the ongoing struggle.
